Sometimes we don’t mind splurging at Disney World. We love a great Loungefly backpack and a matching pair of ears, and don’t even get us started on all the food splurges we’ve done (we’d be too embarrassed to add up the receipts).
On the other hand, there are some things that we just can’t bring ourselves to do in the parks. From battery packs to rain ponchos and more, we pulled together some essentials you’ll likely want to grab before your vacation.
First, we have this Autograph Book!
We love getting character signatures, but paying full price for an autograph book? That’s a no-go. This one is still Disney official but also comes with an attached pen (and in the parks, you usually have to buy them separately), and it has Mickey Mouse and friends on it.
You can also pick up Bubble Wands with extra bubble soap.
This Moana Bubble Wand lights up and plays whimsical music, all while blowing tons of bubbles! It includes the bubble wand with an extra 4 fl oz of premium nontoxic bubble solution. You won’t have to get an overpriced Disney bubble wand again!
Don’t forget about rain gear! We love this Breathable Rain Poncho.
This Frogg Toggs Poncho is 100% waterproof, lightweight, and durable. It’s the most comfortable poncho we’ve tried; it has an outer layer that provides waterproof and breathable protection with an inner layer that remains soft. Plus, it comes with a waterproof bag that easily fits in your park bag.
For another option, check out the Clear Rain Ponchos.
This rain poncho is extremely lightweight while also being durable and long-lasting! It’s easily foldable to fit in our bags for every rainy day. Plus, it won’t cover your amazing Disney outfit!
Since Florida weather is so unpredictable, you might want to grab a Travel Umbrella.
This Mini UV Umbrella reflects and absorbs most UV rays, giving an overall UPF rating of 50+! It’s small and perfectly compact with a small enough fold to fit in our fanny pack! And just in case, this little guy has a lifetime replacement guarantee.
Of course, you’re going to want Sunscreen, too.
This is the sunscreen we use every day at Disney! We love it because it’s dermatologist- and Sonny-approved, non-comedogenic, and packed with Vitamin E. Plus, it’s water resistant (Hello Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!) and smells like summer.
We like to take Cooling Towels with us, as well.
This four-pack of cooling towels is made of a hyper-evaporative and breathable mesh material that keeps you cool all day. Simply soak the towel, wring it out, and you’ll stay cool all day!
We’ve been using the FuelRod MAX10 in the parks, and it helps keep our phones charged all day long.
Meet the FuelRod MAX! We’ve used FuelRods for years, but when one came out, we knew we had to try it. We love that it’s MagSafe, so we can slide it on the back of our phones and hold them in one hand. You can also swap them for fully charged ones across Disney World for free.
Finally, we love traditional FuelRods, too.
If you’re looking for something a little smaller, these round FuelRods might be the way to go. It comes in a two-pack, and you can still easily swap them out for free across the parks. While you can buy them at the kiosks in Disney World, they are SO expensive, and you only get one.
That’s a wrap! Don’t forget to grab some of these essentials before heading to the parks if you want to save yourself time and money on items you’re likely to need anyway. We can’t live without some of these! Make sure you keep following AllEars for more tips and tricks to make your upcoming trip even better.
